Integrated Coach/Navistar Impala 735
''This is a work in progress so this article might actually not make sense ''- SwagDud1 The Integrated Coach Impala 735 is a single-deck transit bus made by Integrated Coach, the bus division of Navistar. This bus is one of the company's first models to be exported to Europe and it was a widely successful attempt. The Impala is based off the QBus Urban 290, being a badge-engineered version of the QBus model. First generation (2019-present) The first generation model's pre-release picture was shown on December 18, 2017, then announced in late December 2017 as the company's entry into the bus market. The right-hand drive transit model was released on January 18, 2018, while the suburban model was released on January 21, 2018. These buses are based off a concept Mercedes-Benz model and have working LED headlights and taillights, notably similar to those on Mercedes Benz Citaro. Brake lights and turn signals have to be scripted by the user. It also features non-working controls and dashboard along with non-collision doors. A non-functional LED destination display is included but to make it functional, a functional one must be added by the user unlike the main competitor. The Urban 290 lineup marked the return of the fictional bus industry to ROBLOX, as most manufacturers that made buses have been on hiatus since 2016 because of more real life models flooding the bus industry. Inside the passenger compartment, there is a non-functional TV screen. The front row of passenger seats also face the rear and look similar to those you'd find a more luxury bus. (If you do install your own Destination board you can place the text on this screen / TV) Both standard models feature an inline-6 16-liter diesel engine paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic (not changeable) transmission and can operate at a top speed of 73 mph (115 km/h). The bus runs on the InSpare drive system with a rev limiter at 3000 rpm, with the motor capable of producing 290 horsepower. An articulated bus marketed as the "L" model, intended to compete with the Mercedes-Benz Citaro 0530G was introduced on March 2, 2018 and released on March 11, 2018. To handle the extra load, it has a more powerful engine, rated at 310 hp and uses a different ZF transmission. Models Available The Integrated Coach Impala 735 is available as various types in the RHD model. As the bus is sold as three different models, you can see how they are different. All models use a 2+1 seating configuration. Transit The transit model, with a rear door is only available for the right-hand drive market. This bus can seat about 23 passengers and was also the prototype for the lineup. This variant of the Urban 290 was originally intended for use in London and the demonstrator was painted red as a result. Suburban The suburban model is available for both steering wheels but has the rear door deleted. This model is sold as the "twin" pack, meaning that the user gets both the LHD and RHD model of the suburban bus. This bus can seat about 25 passengers and is intended for more long-distance travel, as with a coach bus. The left-hand drive model is only available as a suburban model. Articulated Impala 735L In June 15 2019, the Impala 735L articulated bus was created. For 2019, it is only available as a right-hand-drive model and is based off the transit variant. Unlike the standard model, the 735L (intended for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority) has an optional Cummins ISB6.7L Diesel mated with a 6-speed ZF EcoLife transmission from Vitaru Motors. Also, it has two doors and has a unfortunately smaller seating capacity, at about 18-23 passengers. However, unlike other buses in its class, the 735L has a top speed of 87 mph (140 km/h) with the rev limiter at 6000 rpm. The startup chime is also different from the standard bus and takes longer to startup. Also, the GUI will not show the gear selected but will upshift and downshift automatically at a pre-determined engine speed. This bus has the engine in the rear, like its rigid counterparts. The trailer also has a set of rearward-facing seats right behind the "accordion" section of the bus. At this point, it is unknown if the articulated bus will be produced as a left-hand drive model, based off the suburban with the middle door deleted. However, The passengers actually sit in the trailer, not in the tractor. This makes its possible that this model without the trailer and the "accordion" section of it is a truck. In conclusion, changes to the A-Chassis did make the first-generation model glitch with the mandatory implementation of Filtering Enabled in mid-2018. The articulated bus suffered from this, as its joint broke due to the system changes. Most buses had to be modded and some agencies did put them back in service. Also a Make Joints script has to be put into the "Misc" model after this change. Impala 735V In June 15, 2019, the Impala 735V articulated bus was created. For 2019, it is only available as a right-hand-drive model and is based off the transit variant. Unlike the standard model, the V has a 310 horsepower inline-6 diesel engine mated with a 6-speed Allison 1000. Also, it has two doors and has a larger seating capacity, at about 35-40 passengers. However, unlike other buses in its class, the 735V has a top speed of 87 mph (140 km/h) with the rev limiter at 6000 rpm. The startup chime is also different from the standard bus and takes longer to startup. Also, the GUI will not show the gear selected but will upshift and downshift automatically at a pre-determined engine speed. This bus has the engine in the rear, like its rigid counterparts. The trailer also has a set of rearward-facing seats right behind the "accordion" section of the bus. At this point, it is unknown if the articulated bus will be produced as a left-hand drive model, based off the suburban with the middle door deleted. However, changes to the A-Chassis did make the first-generation model glitch with the mandatory implementation of Filtering Enabled in mid-2018. The articulated bus suffered from this, as its joint broke due to the system changes. Most buses had to be modded and some agencies did put them back in service. the trailer falling apart would be fixed somewhat. Notable Operators * DreamTransit (United Kingdom) - Nearly Entire DreamTransit Fleet (135 2nd generation buses including a fleet of 675 2nd generation Qbus Urban 290 buses) * Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (135 First Generation Impala 735s) Second generation (2020) On June 13th, 2019, Builderman4285796 started making the second-generation Integrated Coach Impala 735, originally based off the Qbus Aeroshuttle. This vehicle is currently under development but is expected to be released as a 2020 model. However, further changes later that day revealed that it would be a rebadged QBus Urban 290. As of September 1, 2018, the 2019 model would have projector LED headlights, a HVAC system and have a closer look to the "AeroCity" 290. In addition, the bus should look more standard rather than the futuristic design found in the 2018 Urban 290. Windows would also be larger and more square, making the bus feel more spacious than the original. After a day of development, the second generation Impala 735 was finally created on June 14, 2019 (as a right-hand drive transit version). These buses have a diesel engine that meet Euro 6 standards and a 5-speed transmission, capable of achieving 65 mph (105 km/h) for the top speed. It also features a chime that sounds (for the driver) when the parking brake is activated or released, along with engine startup. Unlike the first generation, the route display is now functional from the factory and drivers can choose between 5 pre-set signs by clicking the arrows under the sign changer, or edit the script to modify the displays. Other differences between the first and second generation include the latter only being available in a transit configuration. Did you know? * You can start/stop the engine by pressing the m key on your keyboard. A chime will sound when the engine is started and stopped when you press the M key on your keyboard. If you enter the driver's seat with the engine running, the engine will automatically shut off without a chime. However, passengers will not hear the chime when the engine is started/stopped. On the second generation, the engine startup chime was supposed to be only be heard by the driver. * You cannot select the transmission mode by pressing "M", it is locked to automatic; traction control and ABS can still be toggled. * The second generation Impala 735 does not have a shutdown chime. When you turn off the engine, you will hear the engine shut down. * This bus will never be sold to the public because of copyright, also its for the United Kingdom bus sim BuilderMan4285796 would start working on. * You have to go very close to the bus to read the model name. * Differences between the QBus model and the IC/Navistar model are changes to the front end, badging and on the first generation, a different front fascia.
